The Old Apple Imac
Since it first appeared in 1998, the Apple iMac is like breaking the tradition of the existing PC’s. Although already passed nearly a decade, the iMac remains as an inspiration for other PC manufacturers, on the other hand though not much changed from its original design, the iMac is still an interesting PC. In 2009 this year, Apple re-released a new generation iMac, though still not much changes.
Viewed from the physical, this iMac is not experiencing a change from the previous generation. Looks like Apple is still quite satisfied with this design and consider it not necessary to make physical changes. Just changing the guts of a PC with this compact design. Processor, memory and store the media capacity greater than the iMac is the mainstay of this new generation.
In 24-inch version, Apple put an Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz which is supported with the installation of performance DDR3 memory for 4GB. Media store that is placed too unsparing. There is a conventional hard disk with a velocity around 7200 rpm 1TB capacity installed here. With this large storage capacity, it will need some time for you to make full. But if you are still not enough, you still may move the files that were not so important to the DVD disc by using a slot-loading 8x SuperDrive provided.
NVIDIA GeForce 130 GT with 512MB memory is Apple’s choice of VGA card installed in your PC. For daily use, this graphics card it also has more than sufficient. After treated with this graphics card, the display will be brought to the screen 24 inch wide LCD. Speaking of the screen, it looks like it’s where lies the weakness iMac. Although this screen was clear and bright, but its viewing angle is not too broad.
Problem connectivity, Apple provides Bluetooth 2.1, AirPort Extreme wireless networking, Gigabit Ethernet port, FireWire 800 port, and four USB 2.0 ports. ISight webcam while still using the keyboard packaged experienced little change. Numpad does not look like an important key according to Apple’s designers because the buttons are now missing from the keyboard. Odder still is the fact that once the remote control packaged together must now be purchased separately.
